[TechnologyManagers] COMCAST broadband

[Tim De Young]

We recently added a Comcast Cable internet line here at South Holland.
We opted to add a static IP address for an additional $4.95/month.
Then you can just give the new IP to the database suppliers to add to their list, and it's a one-time change.

One thing to note:
It's not uncommon for Comcast to take a very long time to install the line.
It took them 7 months for us.
However once it finally got installed, it does work nicely, and it's pretty fast.

Is anyone expanding their broadband with Comcast? If so, how do you continue to get the database suppliers ( Gale, Newsbank, RefUSA, etc. ) to recognize your IP range?
